[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Blair people also can't reconcile the fact that Poolesville continually is ranked higher in composite school rankings. I'll get called "that Poolesville booster" for this comment. And yet, the rankings speak for themselves. [/quote] Half of Poolesville's 1,200 students are there because they tested in. And Poolesville is a majority-white (barely), very-low-poverty (6% of students receive FARMs) school. Of course its average test scores/school rankings are higher than Blair's. Is that what you mean by the rankings speaking for themselves? -upcounty parent[/quote] The thing that many parents misunderstand is that averages tell us very little about the potential education a particular student would receive at a given school. They tell us mostly whether a school's population is affluent and demographically uniform. [/quote]
